Here is one I finished up the other day.

It is a TCK #3 profile.

It is imitation ivory but just because it's fake doesn't mean in cheap.

Overall length of the knife is 10"

Blade length is 5 1/2" with 4 1/2" cutting surface

Handle length is 4 1/2"

Blade width is 1 1/4"

Blade thickness is 1/8" steel, heat treated and tempered to 60HC

The blade is L6 carbon steel.

The sheath is dagger style in dark brown and I couldn't help but make it African themed.

   

   

   

       

This stuff is incredibly hard to photograph, these pictures are modified to try and show just how much figure are in the scales.

   

 

Thanks for looking. I hope you all are having a wonderful fall.

It is beautiful but a pain to work with.

Todd, great job on a very appealing pattern and sheath.  

I like the way you shaped the scales, and the blade texturing.

Cool Euro mount too!
